Yemen was the only Arab country to consistently take direct military action in response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, blocking Red Sea trade routes and launching strikes on Israeli targets. In return, the U.S. and Israel bombed Yemen repeatedly, tightened sanctions, and re-designated Ansarallah, referred to in the West as “the Houthis,” as a terrorist organization. But Yemen did not relent.

Now that a ceasefire has been declared, will Yemen stop its attacks? Will the Resistance Axis continue to strike U.S. and Israeli forces? And what does this mean for the future of U.S.-Yemen relations? In this EXCLUSIVE interview, Rania Khalek speaks with Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior political official and spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarallah, to discuss Yemen’s intervention against genocide, the future of resistance, and the shifting geopolitics of the region.

Congressional Rep Jamaal Bowman joined Rania Khalek to discuss the bipartisan AIPAC-funded campaign to push him out of office, his evolution on Palestine, his views on the Biden administration and what comes next.

The ways of war are changing. Artificial intelligence is used to bomb families in Gaza. Flying drones are deployed to track down refugees on the US-Mexico border. But the biggest change is the one we talk about the least: the privatization of war. From Yemen to Sudan, Syria to Nigeria, tens of thousands of guns for hire now fight on behalf of foreign powers. For Episode 7 of “The International,” a world-spanning video series brought to you by Jacobin and the @ProgIntl, Rania Khalek tells the story of how we got here. It is the tale of an infamous US firm known as Blackwater and the rise of the secret mercenary armies that have pushed warfare into the shadows.

BT’s Rania Khalek appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to debate Israel’s destruction of Gaza and invasion of Rafah. It was one against three but she held her own.
